I’m So Much More Ready to Face Whatever Comes in My Knitting
Thank you SO MUCH for your newsletter and the video on picking up a dropped stitch.
I can't tell you how many projects I've been unable to finish because I could not consistently fix dropped stitches. As always, your calm sound and simple, clear video allowed me to understand how simple fixing a dropped knit stitch really is.
I won't necessarily finish all my stalled projects (since most of them have been lace shawls), but WOW! What a relief to know what the fix looks like on a knit stitch, every time.
I'm so much more ready to face whatever comes in my knitting. Thank you again.

Just Finished First Pair

Looking Forward to Learning With You
I am so looking forward to learning with you. It already feels qualitatively different, much more personal, than following along with your video classes.

Clear Instruction Style
Hi there! I’m a new knitter and wanted to say thank you! I have learned so much from your videos and really appreciate your clear instruction style and anticipation of whatever mistakes I might be about to make. Thank you so much, and happy new year!

Absolutely Comfortable
I am a huge fan of Liat and her online knitting courses and videos. I am truly an online learner and now knitter thanks to her. Up until one month ago I knew nothing about knitting, but I had an overwhelming desire to learn how to knit socks.
I bought books, I went to a local knitting store in a city I had visited (I do not have one in my town), I looked at tons of You Tube videos and I immediately feel at ease with Liat. Mind you my books purchases and other attempts to learn I feel were a waste of money and a waste of my time. Liat is an amazing teacher and I have so far made several socks which I am very proud of.
I owe that to her Knitting Superstar course and extra courses I purchased. They are filled with a wealth of knowledge and tips and tricks. I used to be intimidated about knitting as I was so afraid of making a mistake, not anymore as I know how to fix them!
I have progressed so fast in my skills that I decided to buy her Knitting Mosaics Course. After watching it I can truly say I feel absolutely comfortable trying out this new skill. She breaks everything down and demonstrates everything so clearly, you never have a question. I can't say that about anything else I have tried. I am hoping to apply these techniques to my sock knitting, which I am obsessed with.
Speaking as a newbie, I feel I have gained so much through watching her videos and reading her materials. Every course I have viewed is explained so clearly and easily. If you too are looking to build on your skills or wish to gain a better understanding of anything about knitting, I highly recommend her courses. I hope my comments give you comfort in making your decision. I am not connected with her or her company, just a truly pleased customer. Thank you Liat for making learning how to knit so easy and so enjoyable!

Great Troubleshooting
I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Liat for her Cables 101 course. I was looking for a pattern for legwarmers to wear on my motorcycle in cold weather. I wanted them to button, and be fairly warm.
The Bulky Cabled Legwarmers pattern was perfect, and the promise of videos to help me through my first knit cables was important. AS IT TURNED OUT... I really needed the troubleshooting videos. I got to the 54th row of the pattern on the left legwarmer, feeling pleased with myself because they looked so good.
As I read over the instructions for the last few rows, I saw a mention of sewing 4 buttons on. FOUR!!!! But I only had three button holes. Sure enough, on row 43, I had missed the buttonhole.
I took a deep breath, watched the video on fixing a missed buttonhole, and started ripping my stitches down to the missed button hole. Four or five tries later, it was fixed, a buttonhole and 10 more rows of fixed knitting.
WOW! Thanks so much for this. I would never have had the courage to attempt to fix this problem without ripping out all 11 rows without your videos.

Love The New Guide
Love the new KNITFreedom Video Guide to Cast-Ons, I have used several new ones in my knitting already! Great resource!

Can’t Wait to Start Other Fair-Isle Projects
Bought the "Fair-Isle ebook" from Liat Gat/KnitFreedom – I can really recommend it to anyone who is new to Fair-Isle knitting. After taking the online video class I can’t wait to start other Fair-Isle projects.
All The Fine-Tuning I Needed
You have taught me all the fine tuning I needed to know to become a very proficient knitter.
I've made an amazing baby blanket that I did not have to tear out all the way even once b/c you taught me how to keep going then fix my mistake as I came to that spot... even many rows down. You taught me how to fix half-done stitches and recognize mistakes in intricate patterns.
So I just can't thank you enough! You've taken my anxiety over "frogging" and turned it into calm confidence!

You Always Treat Your Students With Respect and Confidence in Our Ability
The KAL gave me the nudge I needed to get on with knitting my first pair of socks with Liat's course "Toe-Up, Two-at-a-Time Socks," which I have had for quite some time. So I got started and knit ahead. My socks are done!
The course with its embedded videos showed me all the techniques I needed. I am now confident in doing Judy's Magic Cast-On and the Invisible Ribbed Bind-Off. I love the simple and smooth Fleegle heel.
I took the challenge to knit backwards doing the heel, another skill I have been wanting to learn, and it went very well. Such a great skill to have in my repertoire!
Thanks so much for the comprehensive course and your calm manner, Liat; you always treat your students with respect and confidence in our ability to successfully tackle new challenges. I've already started another pair of socks!

Couldn’t Do It Until This Video
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to figure out from books and other videos (where folks are knitting waaaay too fast and the camera is far too far away) how to pick up and knit something "using the same dpn" or the "same needle"- just could not figure it out – until this video. My first Magic Loop socks were from your Magic Loop Socks one-at-a-time pattern I found on Ravelry.

I Can’t Believe How Simple The Process Is
Not being a particularly adventurous knitter, I’ve never considered attempting mosaic knitting. I just assumed it was hard! You just proved that with a good teacher, and a good video tutorial, most any kind of knitting is doable. I didn’t knit the swatch, but I did watch the video all the way through (knitting in my head), and can’t believe how simple the process is. Again, thank you so much for sharing your time and experience. :-)

The Teaching Style is So Chill and Au Naturel
You are so cool over and beyond! The ability to freely download and watch the video is a real bonus. The teaching style is so chill and au naturel, nothing rushed or too scripted.

Truly The Greatest
I love the program! I truly think it's the greatest. I love the videos. Your voice is so calming.
I was looking on YouTube for an answer to a question. You had put up an answer. I followed up on that and saw your site. I saw your videos, and I tried one of the videos. I saw that it had a course. Then I went to look at the course and saw that it was part of the whole program.
I thought, "Can I afford it?" And then I thought, "I've been trying to learn. I took some private knitting lessons at $30 an hour. This is crazy. I can get all this information and have it anytime I want right here!" And I have not regretted purchasing it one bit.
I'm up late at night. You can't go to a knitting store late at night. It works perfect. It's just the right thing for me.

A Piece of Cake
Hi Liat, just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful videos you make available to us. I have learned so much from you, I always look forward to seeing your emails in my inbox! I was having such a hard time learning to double knit, but after watching your video, it was a piece of cake! Again thank you and God bless you!

Clear Everyday Language
Your videos are so excellent. One of the things I enjoy best is how you explain things - in clear, everyday language. The pacing is always just right, and everything sounds natural, not forced or scripted. They are, seriously, the best I've come across. Thank you!
– Zaelia Min
A World of Difference
Liat, I finished the Toe-Up, Two-at-a-Time Socks - your videos are stellar! Thank you very much - you have to know how much more secure I felt with your videos - a world of difference.

I’m Hooked
Dear Liat, I wanted to take this little moment to thank you for your tutorials on YouTube. I have just discovered your videos and subsequently just signed up to learn more about knitting the Liat Way. I'm a very novice knitter, even though I have been poking away at knitting for a long time.
I recently "got a bee in my bonnet" about wanting to knit in the round... why not?... and in the process of learning about the different ways you can do that I discovered the Magic Loop trick.
After about six or more tries with different YouTube teachers, and still not getting it at all, I happened to watch your Magic Loop video. And it was so easy! Listening to you and watching your hands! I was able to figure it out and actually do it!
I am really excited to think that now I might be able to add to my ever growing pile of (fabulous) long knitted rectangles with some circular things for a change. (Ahem...) Cables and color work... who knows... the list goes on... It's great.
Thank you so much for your teacher's heart and your wonderful website and tutorials. I am hooked. Or maybe, I should say, "I'm knit!"
